The exposure buildup factor formulation in a slab and rectangle geometry by the LTSN method

In this paper, we report a formulation for the exposure buildup factor by solving the one-dimensional photon transport equation in a heterogeneous slab by the LTSN method, assuming the Klein-Nishina scattering kernel as the scattering differential cross-section as well as the multigroup model in the wavelength variable. We present numerical simulations and comparisons with available results in the literature for a multilayered slab composed of water, iron and lead. We also report an analytical solution to the exposure buildup factor by solving the photon transport equation in a rectangle applying the LTSN nodal method.

"Water reuse market is all set for dramatic expansion" - a review by Sahana Singh, Editor, Asian Water, February 2010From a probable solution to a low-value proposition and finally to the current avatar of high-value application, water reuse is all set to revolutionise the urban world. Driven by water scarcity, revulsion for big dam projects and a progressive breakdown of the ‘yuck factor’, water reuse is clearly about to explode in the coming decade.Capturing the trends in the growth of this market...

The broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate is used all over the world in agriculture. Alongside farming, the chemical is also used for weed-killing in domestic gardens and in public and private spaces kept free from «vegetal invasion», such as railway tracks. Glyphosate has been used since the 1970s in pesticides and was hitherto thought to be harmless at typical levels of exposure. However, since the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) – the specialized cancer-re...
